P: Polychromatic Film Grain and Halation

I've been using Lightroom for 10 years now and I still love the program. I don't do many VFX tweaks and barely use photoshop for event photos. But I would love if Adobe can allow you to choose and adjust polychromatic film grain, not just monochromatic. Film doesn't have monochromatic grain unless it's B&W. Also would love a Halation effect. Something that you can adjust color, brightness, bloom, softness, etc. Does anyone else want this?

    Would absolutely love to see Adobe implement some form of halation into lightroom. I'll probalby eventually end up getting Dehancer but I really think it should be built in. I shouldn't have to pay $200 on top of a subscription I've been paying for years to do a basic thing that can enhance the mood of a photograph. 

     

    Dust and scratches would be a really nice thing to see as some form of slider or generator element. 

     

    Thanks.

        Hello,

         

        Ive been experimenting with different external plugins to help get me closer to a certain look for my images.

         

        Dehancer has a couple unique things that I think would be great to have in Lightroom. Specifically, the Halation and Bloom functions. 

           

         

        They also have more grainular adjustments (pun intended) for their Film Grain tool which I thought was awesome.
